LAFAYETTE — The Lamorinda community came together Friday night in a poignant vigil to honor the life of Amin Noroozi, a beloved student-athlete at Acalanes High School who died several days after a swimming accident.

Family, friends, and supporters gathered at the Acalanes High School football stadium in Lafayette to remember the 17-year-old junior, a three-sport athlete known for his talent, kindness, and magnetic spirit.

Even before the candlelight vigil, Friday marked a somber day on campus. For many Acalanes students, it was one of mourning rather than learning. Friends of Noroozi struggled to stay focused in class, and some chose not to attend school at all.
